Just a couple of years ago, nobody knew who Stephen Strausburg, Bryce Harper, and Mike Trout were. Now that these young guns are the talk of the league, we’re seeing how bright their star really is. With the 2012 MLB Draft taking place tonight at 7 PM (EST), it’s time to take a deeper look at some of the most incredible future all-stars out there. All of the prospects below are under 20, some have been drafted, while some will go tonight. These are names that aren’t yet known except by the baseball die-hards, but you can definitely expect to be rooting for or against them soon.

The Pitchers-

Dylan Bundy, (Orioles)- The Baltimore Orioles are surprising everyone and having their best season in a decade. Just how good could they be with the addition of one of the top pitching prospects in the game? Just 19 years old, Bundy may already be big league ready. The #1 pick of the 2011 draft only just suffered his first minor league loss last week. He can touch 99 MPH on the radar gun, and has a glistening .68 ERA with 53 strikeouts in 40 innings this season. The Orioles are babying him, but it’ll be tough to keep him down if he keeps performing the way he is.
